Le guide di Headspace: il sonno

I found this series really useful. Generally I sleep well, but there's always room for improvement especially because better quality of sleep works wonders on our mental and physical wellbeing. There are familiar concepts on here but they are presented very well and the section on screen time and sleep quality is very timely, as this is very much a contemporary phenomenon that is not benefiting us but easily rectified if we change our habits. I have used some of the strategies to great affect. Also the narrator is well-suited for this gig as she has an amazingly-soothing voice.

Episodes are generally 40-70% a meditation session or taster course for their app. While they didn't plug the app, they were highly biased and suggestive about the benefits of meditation for sleep.

For how short the episodes are and how long the meditation component is, the script is mostly fluff and filler material which really sucks for those looking for actual information. Although they do provide the odd statistic, the takeaway is that the scientific community genuinely don't know anything about sleep and Headspace is merely baiting curious viewers with this series.

It's a fun format and a great intro to mediation for people but personally, I feel a bit mislead and honestly could have learned more by reading research.

Useless information, contradicting itself, nothing new here.

Also the narrator is really annoying, she's not a good speaker and lacks basic English. ( even though she's actually English and so am I) I would not recommend this at all.

Unless you never went to school, have never researched anything to do with health or sleep, then this is the series for you. I learnt all of this as a 10 year old, so it was pretty much a useless waste of my time. They could've at least included more scientific findings and studies, rather that repeating facts that the majority of people (I hope) have known since childhood.

I see a lot of negative reviews of people claiming that either is contradictory, has disinformation, or no useful information at all. To me it's more of a relaxing conversation about sleep and practices and although some of it speculative, the whole point of the program is to actually put you to sleep or fill in for background noise. It uses delightful calm imagery with cool colors that aren't invasive. The entire time relaxing music plays in the background. I find the narrator to be quite soothing, and their english fully intelligible. I enjoy listening to someone while not necessarily thinking entirely on the topic, but just enough to keep my mind from racing. They try and utilize exercises too to promote relaxation that I find help. I think some people are watching to pick it apart when they should actually be trying to sleep.
